Josh Hazlewood won’t be playing the remaining three ODIs and two T20s against India, as Australia have decided to rest him owing to high workload this summer.

Australia coach Darren Lehmann informed that decision was taken to keep Hazlewood fresh, both mentally and physically, for the forthcoming New Zealand tour.

“Josh has played all six Tests this summer and has had a high workload. On that basis the decision has been made to give him a break to allow him to recharge both physically and mentally ahead of the tour of New Zealand.”

“We regard it as sensible management of the player and it is an approach that we have adopted successfully in Australian cricket over a significant period of time, especially in the one-day format, Lehmann said.”

Meanwhile, John Hastings has been retained in the Australia squad for the remainder of series. Hastings bowled impressively in the 2nd ODI at the Gabba.

Australia are currently leading the five-match series 2-0, after winning the ODIs at the WACA and Gabba.
